Episode 29: Patrick Martinez
Episode 29
Monday, 15 November, 2021
L.A. based artist Patrick Martinez’s artistic practice takes many forms. An observer of the city, his work illustrates the ever-changing urban landscape and the beauty that can be found within the diverse and layered aesthetics of our streets. Martinez discusses his role as an observer, the importance of recovering and documenting erased histories, and how his art serves a social purpose, communicating the most pressing social issues of our time. "It's also about observation too, right? And reacting to the changing landscape, the disappearing landscape or land, businesses, surfaces, colors, it’s all of that really. And trying to kind of merge those things together to create something that can speak to how fast everything is moving and just you know, how things are in transition and they aren’t cemented and they’re in this kind of mixture of things right now." –Patrick MartinezHost and Producer: Lindsay Preston ZappasEngineering: PJ ShahamatProduction assistance: Alitzah OrosTheme music: Joel P WestEpisode Sponsor: Odd Ark LA
